A warehouse club stocks just about everything, often in bulk and often at bargain prices, making it a great one-stop destination for back-to-school shopping for college students with lots of needs but not a lot of money. Costco is my go-to store since I already have a membership, and Costco's Kirkland Signature is my go-to brand since I know from experience that I can count on the private label's quality and affordability.

But since it's been years - OK, decades - since I was in college, I didn't want to assume I knew what today's students really want or need. (Ramen noodles are so '80s, I'm told.) So I reached out to a handful of current collegians to see what they'd covet most from Costco's Kirkland Signature line of products. Here's what they picked.
